Only in FoCo: Vortic Watch Company
The saying "they don't make them like they used to" doesn't apply to Vortic Watch Company. Founded by R.T. Custer and business partner Tyler Wolfe in 2013, Vortic Watch Company is dedicated to the highest level of craftsmanship in their work upcycling old American-made pocket watches. By creating the miniscule parts that convert the pocket watch into a wrist watch at their location in Downtown Fort Collins, Vortic Watch Company is creating 100% American-made watches. While their passion is evident through interviews and photos, the best way to learn about what Vortic is doing is to do a free, in-person tour at their headquarters. These tours are offered Monday-Thursday and are a great way to learn more about the watch-making industry and what it takes to make an American-made product. They also recently expanded their offerings by creating a new sub-brand, Colorado Watch Company, a smaller, modern watch with an American-assembled automatic movement.

And last year, Jeff Sims turned the ball over four times with inexplicable decisions to throw the ball directly to Colorado defensive backs, compounded by the inability to field a snap or hand off the ball cleanly.
